The power supply on my EX475 died recently leaving me with that sinking feeling that happens when something you take for granted suddenly is no longer available. My most recent backup of the server was a couple of months out of date, and there were some files (photos) stored on the server that we would have missed.

I saw this post on the news section (http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2012/02/24/new-replacement-power-supply-for-the-hp-mediasmart-and-data-vault-servers/) and, after checking out the supplier and related posts, thought it was worth the investment to see if I could get the server back up and running.

I ordered the unit from Ebay and it arrived a week later, leaving me with a bit of a weekend project. Took the server apart, pulled out the old power supply, and installed the new unit. Server booted up and all is well. Back in business.

First thing I did was run a backup. Starting to think about what the "next" home server will look like. For now, I'm happy to extend the life my old ex475.
